Memorial Day in Israel

I slept well last night until about 430AM and then, for some reason, my body just decided it was time to get up - not tired at all - just done sleeping... Not the worst thing that can happen when you're on vacation though - it just gave me the opportunity to take a walk and do a bit of reading by the water.

Today's work highlight was meeting our companies CEO face-to-face. I've had numerous phone conversations and a video call with David but as was the case with the rest of the team - meeting him face to face was wonderful.

After work today a good portion of the team took us for dinner at an authentic Yemenis restaurant. We shared a wide range of side dishes and I had a steak - seasoned much differently than would be at home but nothing too shocking - very good. The rest of the group got soup which met with several rave reviews and a couple negative (one of which was the other American pallet).

Following that a subset of the group had a few drinks on the beach (about midway between the two spots on the beach we had been before) before calling it a night. Seems that we must be in a fairly popular spot for American travelers since we met a couple of different American groups tonight.

Another beautiful day weatherwise - although from the looks of things Wisconsin is looking pretty nice while we're away too (?).
